Hiring season in the City of London can be a bit like the last hours of the European football transfer window: fast-paced and exciting (and with lots of money changing hands) but also a nightmare to keep track of who’s moved where.

We are in the thick of 2014 bank hiring season. But who’s doing the most hiring and who is losing talent to the competition?

To help you out, FN has gone interactive!

Financial News has compiled a graphic using figures from the independent advisory firm IMAS (which uses data from the UK’s Financial Services Register) to show the number of new joiners so far in 2014 at 16 of the investment banks regularly covered by Financial News. This graphic only shows moves between these 16 banks.

The data focuses on the investment banking entities of these banks. The bigger the arrow is, the greater the number of people who have moved. For more detail, hover over the bank logo to discover how fast the revolving door has been spinning.

The total universe of bankers moving to and from these 16 banks totals over 130.

The data shows new joiners during the period between January 1 and May 27, 2014.

All banks were contacted for comment.
